Abstract: There is provided an electronically controlled, breath actuated vaporization device for generating vaporized material for inhalation by a user. The vaporization device includes a vaporization chamber for accommodating material to be vaporized and a mesh heater or other heater supported upstream of the vaporization chamber which is operable to heat air that passes through the mesh heater or other heater during an inhalation event. A closed loop control scheme may be employed to control heat generated by the heater to maintain a temperature of the air delivered to the vaporization chamber at or within a predetermined tolerance of a desired vaporization temperature for at least a majority of a duration of the inhalation event.

Abstract: A method for generating one or more quantum circuits to be evaluated by one or more QPUs is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a problem to be solved using one or more QPUs and analyzing the problem for reductions in complexity to obtain a reduced problem. One or more quantum algorithms are generated to implement a potential solution to the reduced problem, and the quantum algorithms are translated into one or more quantum circuits. The method further includes transmitting the one or more quantum circuits to the one or more QPUs.

Abstract: A means for applying a controlled tension to a top tension riser on a floating offshore structure. The invention combines a mechanical tensioner device and buoyancy can to apply controlled tension to an individual riser or group of risers supported by a floating offshore structure. The buoyancy can applies static tension force on the riser(s).
